Periodicity and frequency coding in human auditory cortex [PDF]
, 2006 Understanding the neural coding of pitch and frequency is fundamental to the understanding of speech comprehension, music perception and the segregation of concurrent sound sources. Neuroimaging has made important contributions to defining the pattern of

Pupillary response to dynamic pitch alteration during speech perception in noise [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2021 Dynamic pitch, also known as intonation, conveys both semantic and pragmatic meaning in speech communication. While alteration of this cue is detrimental to speech intelligibility in noise, the mechanism involved is poorly understood.

Tonal expectations influence pitch perception [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 2008 In this study, we investigated the influence of tonal relatedness on pitch perception in melodies. Tonal expectations for target tones were manipulated in melodic contexts while controlling sensory expectations, thus allowing us to assess specifically the influence oftonal expectations on pitch perception.

Pitch-induced illusory percepts of time
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2022 Abstract Past research suggests that pitch height can influence the perceived tempo of speech and music, such that higher-pitched signals seem faster than lower-pitched ones. However, previous studies have analyzed perceived tempo across a relatively limited range of fundamental frequencies.

Native Experience with a Tone Language Enhances Pitch Discrimination and the Timing of Neural Responses to Pitch Change [PDF]
, 2011 Native tone language experience has been linked with alterations in the production and perception of pitch in language, as well as with the brain response to linguistic and non-linguistic tones.

Place pitch discrimination and speech recognition in cochlear implants users
South African Journal of Communication Disorders, 1996 The considerable variability in speech perception performance among cochlear implant patients makes it difficult to compare the effectiveness of different speech processing strategies. One result is that optimal individualized processor parameter setting

Repetition enhances the musicality of speech and tone stimuli to similar degrees [PDF]
, 2018 Certain spoken phrases, when removed from context and repeated, begin to sound as if they were sung. Prior work has uncover ed several acoustic factors which determine wh ether a phrase sounds sung after repetition .

The role of pitch and timbre in voice gender categorization
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Voice gender perception can be thought of as a mixture of low-level perceptual feature extraction and higher-level cognitive processes. Although it seems apparent that voice gender perception would rely on low-level pitch analysis, many lines of research

Pitch perception beyond the traditional existence region of pitch [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Humans’ ability to recognize musical melodies is generally limited to pure-tone frequencies below 4 or 5 kHz. This limit coincides with the highest notes on modern musical instruments and is widely believed to reflect the upper limit of precise stimulus-driven spike timing in the auditory nerve. We tested the upper limits of pitch and melody perception
